Biology

Weepinbell is a plant Pokémon with a yellow, bell-shaped body. Above Weepinbell's circular eyes are three small green spots and a small, brown hook-shaped stem. It has wide, gaping mouth with pink lips. On each side of its body is a large, green leaf. Weepinbell camouflages itself as a plant in the forest whilst awaiting an unwary victim. When its prey draws near it sprays poison powder to immobilize the target before melting it with its internal acids. It oozes a neutralizing fluid that prevents these internal acids from melting its own body. It will also slice its prey too large to consume into pieces with its razor-sharp leaves. Weepinbell live in temperate forests and jungles where it hangs from tree branches by its stem to sleep. If it moves around during sleep, Weepinbell may slip and awaken to find itself on the ground.

In the Pokémon Adventures manga

In A Hollow Victreebel, Red got dragged into an evolutionary ceremony by a wild Victreebel to serve as food in the Kanto Safari Zone. With the help of Pidgebot 1 that was assigned to him, and a few good items he carried around, the Weepinbell that were about to eat him for their evolution were distracted, and he was able to flee. By morning, Red had caught multiple Safari Zone Pokémon including several Weepinbell.

Multiple Weepinbell appeared in Bellsprout Rout. They were seen in Gold's imagination when he asked one of the monks if the third floor had Weepinbell there.

Sebastian, Platinum's resident butler, has a Weepinbell that he uses to drive burglars out of the Berlitz mansion. When Diamond accidentally sneaked in thinking that he walked into a large park, all of the Pokémon accomplished was getting his clothes wet, though it proved to be an adept battler. It first appeared in Well Met, Weepinbell.
